Recommendations for where to earn my comp sic degree online

Hello all

So in a nutshell, I'm looking to earn my comp sci degree due to both having an interest in it, and to remove this glass ceiling that my career seems to be hitting. I'm also employed full time, so going off to some university for four years in (insert town here) isn't an option that my wallet will support, and the local universities (U of T, Ryerson) aren't exactly flexible at all.

So I'm wondering if there's any online degree options for this degree at all that would be accredited, or aka not a diploma mill. I've done some calling around for schools in Canada with no luck so I'm pretty much assuming that I'll have to look outside the country, but figured the community might know of a reputable option....if one exists.

If you already have a degree and are looking for a MS in CS you'll be hard pressed to find a better program than OMSCS from Georgia Tech. http://www.omscs.gatech.edu/program-info/admission-criteria

Ah that's why. It wasn't showing on mobile.

And my bad. I searched for computer science and online degrees, but it missed that thread. Whoops

Sorry. I always forget that you shouldn't wrap a link in quotes.
